A lousy day overall. I was late for work (stuck on the motorway), then the delivery I was hoping would arrive early failed to show up at all by the time I was on my way home at lunchtime.
I had half a day to take Lyn to the doctors, but surely a bit of birding after we were done would brighten the mood. Forget it. A cold northerly chilled the bones, and I wandered around for an hour seeing nothing more exciting than five Long-tailed Tits.
The tree-planters were working away, and I got barked at by their dogs. Even the normally friendly labrador at Church Farm growled at me.
Birding is supposed to be fun.
Hi Richard,
ReplyDeleteQuite productive yesterday with 63 Teal, 4 Wigeon, 91 Lapwing, 1 Jack Snipe, 11 Common Snipe, 24 Skylark and 100+ Linnet.

Hi Matt
ReplyDeleteNot bad at all. I'm pleased to see the Jack Snipe is still there.
I wimped out last weekend due to the rain and the persistence of a virus I was having trouble shaking off. However, I'm fully recovered and will be out and about tomorrow.
Cheers
Rich
